In the three years since Pope Francis joined Twitter, he has attracted more than 25 million followers in nine languages. On Saturday, the pontiff added a new app to his social media mix: The pope joined Instagram.

When most people join a new social media site, they find their first friends and followers by scrolling through their email address books or cellphone contact lists. But because this is Pope Francis, his arrival on Instagram was heralded several days in advance by a Vatican news release.
